Red Buttons
In various cities throughout the
eountry, TV GUIDE editors are ask¬
ing the more than two million families
who buy our magazine each week to
help select local television performers
“worthy of network attention.” At
first glance this may appear to be a
strange sort of poll. It is, but then
television is a strange medium.
TV uses up material and performers
so rapidly that some source of sup¬
ply for new faces is an absolute
necessity. Vaudeville is dead. Bur¬
lesque is all but gone. The networks,
then, must look to night clubs, radio
and local television for fresh per¬
sonalities.
Our feeling is that there is a great
deal of talent on local stations just
waiting to be discovered. You are the
talent scouts. We will give your
choices national publicity in an arti¬
cle that will include their pictures
and a description of their capabili¬
ties.
If this small effort makes it pos¬
sible for just one new star or show
to be born, you and we will be more
than compensated.
One more announcement. Before
the end of the current television sea¬
son, we hope to name TV GUIDE’S
“Show of the Year.” Our editors will
make the selection, but we will be
guided by your suggestions. We want
to pick the regular program that not
only has offered outstanding enter¬
tainment or information, but has made
the most notable contribution to the
cause dearest to our hearts—better
television programming.
We would appreciate your counsel.
Please send us the name of the pro¬
gram you would pick, and the rea¬
sons for your choice. The address is

HOLLYWOOD Dan Jenkins reports:
Boomtown is booming again. CBS is reportedly digging into its
treasury for S3,000,000 with which to build at least two new
studios at Television City, plus the conversion of one of the
present studios to color. ABC is getting ready to switch a number

A ’ Little, Unpretentious Guy
Finds Himself In TV's Top 10
H UMILITY is a word that has
been kicked around of late in
the entertainment business, but it
isn’t a new word to Red Buttons.
Red, now riding high as the star of
his own CBS show, has made humil¬
ity his watchword ever since he
first broke into show business.
Red was so darned lovable, that
given the chance, he worked him¬
self right into the hallowed orbit of
the Top Ten of TV. A year and a
half ago, he was new in the strato¬
sphere and he was overly conscious
of his background — New York’s
tough, lower East Side, burlesque,
the Borsch circuit; overly conscious
of his limited education—high school.
And although he was ham enough
to want the center of attraction on
stage, he was self-conscious about
the inner man.
A Little Guy Loaded
To most people though, he was a
sweet little guy loaded with a cer¬
tain kind of talent and no vast au¬
dience to appreciate him.
Today, he is in everybody’s living
room, and he’s weighted down by
the enormity of it all. Where he once
clammed up, (“Don’t try to dig too
deep, I’m just a little guy trying to
do a job.”) he now talks easily: “I’m
not living for myself anymore. I’ve
had to adopt a one-world policy. I’m
a three million-dollar-a-year enter¬
prise with 60 to 70 people directly
depending upon me for their jobs.”
In the tedious process of becoming
a big man, Red developed his great¬
est selling point, the ability to in¬

usually sit around and talk family talk.
gratiate his boyish charm upon
viewers. The executive producer of
his show, Mario Lewis, has said re¬
peatedly, “Red’s face is his fortune.
He’s popular because he’s such a
lovable boy to have around the
house.”
While not exactly a boy, (Red is
35) he is normally likable and he
became more so. On his shows last
year, he played roles that would
build this portion of his personality.
Some were carry-overs from his
club days. He was in turn the tender
but dopey husband; the shy, be¬
wildered boy friend; the slap-happy
5
but appealing fighter Rocky; the im¬
pish Kupke (stocking cap) Kid.
About his charm, Red says, “I didn’t
start out to be anything but me. A
guy doesn’t say to himself, ‘For the
next half hour I’m going to be hum¬
ble,’ and then the rest of the week be
a nothing. I deal in emotions—love,
hate, fear, rejection. If what I do turns
out for some people to be lovable, fine.
But that was the bonus, not the in¬
tent.”
At the end of Red’s first year of TV,
he turned down motion picture offers
and took the long trek out to Las
Vegas. It wasn’t for the money. His
TV earnings reportedly were around
$125,000; the “Ho-Ho” song brought
another $25,000. The son of an im¬
migrant hat blocker hadn’t had time
to spend it all. Red could only be out
to show his wares, prove his talent to
the real live paying customers in the
night club capital.
Strange Things Are Happening
Last November, the little boy er¬
rant’s dreams of glory came true. Red
returned in triumph to the school he
put on the map—Evander Childs High
School in the Bronx. As guest of
honor at alumni festivities, he visited
old haunts and former teachers. “If
Red had gotten a swelled head, he
would have talked down to his teach¬
ers,” producer Leo Morgan said. “Not
Red. When they told him how proud
they were of him, Red attributed all
his success to luck and the good
graces of God.”
His wife, Helayne is convinced that
“Red isn’t any different now—only a
little more serious. Red has never
needed people. He didn’t before and
doesn’t now. He’s just self-sufficient,
and other people can’t accept that.”
Says confidant and adviser Mario
Lewis: “Red and Helayne are two of
Not for him: Red finds himself unsuited
to the royal robes of pomp and pretense.
the most average people you’ve ever
met. At home, nothing ever happens.
They sit around and talk family talk.”
If getting there has been hard, stay¬
ing there is the real test. Like most
performers, Red doesn’t see himself in
perspective, but sometimes he will
take criticism from an outsider. Bibi
Osterwald, a singer who has been on
his show a number of times, tells
about Red rushing into rehearsal with
a story about a taxi driver who
wanted to know if Red were Red But¬
tons. When he proudly said, “Yes,”
the driver, with a cab driver’s simpli¬
city told him, “I saw your show last
night. Boy, was that a louse.” Now
it’s become a gag. Whenever some¬
thing goes wrong, Red says, “Boy, was
that a louse.”
To avoid such shows, Red woi’ks
at a nervous pitch. People who know
him well say after a show, it takes
him a half hour to dry off.
His wife says, “This is his person¬
ality. And he has to prove his success
was no accident. Just as he had to
learn that bigness has nothing what¬
ever to do with height.”
J ACK LESCOULIE, chief interfer¬
ence runner (in charge of remote
pick-ups, sports and announcing) for
Dave Garroway, likes his job as well
as the next man, but is a little leery
of its outcome. “I could get killed do¬
ing this show,” he says.
Though not yet seriously wounded,
he once wrestled with a walrus for
Garroway’s fans. “I wanted to make
the interview memorable so I walked
into the walrus’ cage. Wrestling was
the walrus’ idea—not mine.”
In the line of duty, Lescoulie has
also worked out with the N.Y. Giants
football team, skied down New York
streets in the first snow flurry, and
on skates, covered the opening of an
ice skating rink, “I had never skied
or skated before. I hear I was very
funny.
“I held my own just once,” Jack
says. “As a gag, I had to fence with
one of the world’s fencing masters. I
never told anyone, but at college
(U.S.C.) I held the title of fencing
champ of California.”
Lescoulie’s greatest asset on the
Garroway or any other show (he also
introduces Jackie Gleason and has
just been signed to announce the
commercial on the Buick-Berle
shows) is his cheerfulness, a feat for
anyone at 7 a.m., a miracle at 4:00.
Garroway calls him “The Vitamin
Boy” because he rises daily at 4:00
and shines at 5:00—rehearsal hour.
s: doesn't seek stardom.
Born into show business and in
vaudeville at seven, Jack has been
trombone player, singer, Broadway
actor, radio announcer and a combat
reporter for the Air Force.
Lescoulie sometimes pinch hits for
Garroway, the man he admires most
but doesn’t envy. “My chief ambition
is to be the world’s greatest helper. I
don’t want to devote my life to this
business and I don’t want a star’s re¬
sponsibilities.”
An announcer friend, Harry Von
Zell, once drove Jack past Red Skel¬
ton’s house. According to Jack, the
house is very beautiful, very large and
in it, lives a harried man. Von Zell
then pointed out Don Wilson’s house.
This one is almost as large, almost as
beautiful and Wilson, almost as rich,
hasn’t a worry in the world. “A good
announcer doesn’t have to watch his
ratings or worry about a sponsor. And
he can always get another job,” Jack
says.
“Of course, if a show were forced
upon me, I’d hate to say ‘no.’ ”
THE
LUCY-
DESI
MOVIE
L OCILLE BALL, shown in the
wedding scene from M-G-M’s
“The Long, Long Trailer,” and Desi
Arnaz are TV's first situation com¬
edy stars to essay a full length movie.
Lucy's first step was to talk Desi into
the idea of honeymooning in a trailer.
They looked over the folder and picked
out the one they wanted, a real beauty.
Everything was fine when they set out in their mansion on wheels, but it wasn't
long until they found out that a 40-foot trailer requires very special driving skill.
Desi knocked down a porch and, be¬
low, found trailer overrun with visitors.
They found a delightful trailer camp
and a warm welcome from Ed Dearing.
How To Be Right AND Be President
Persistent Pat Weaver Believes
In Stars, Brains And Color For TV
S ylvester l. (Pat) weaver,
Jr., who looks better in color than
in black and white, thanks to a shock
of red hair and an almost perpetually
sun-burned face, is the master-mind
at the helm of NBC-TV.
They tell of the time back in 1950
when Pat Weaver was buying up stars
by the carload lot: Sid Caesar, Eddie
Cantor, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis,
Fred Allen, Danny Thomas, Kate
Smith, to name a few. But no matter
how he tried, he couldn’t lure Jimmy
Durante into the fold.
Jimmy had not reckoned with Pat
Weaver. Without tipping off any of
his associates, Weaver boarded a plane
for Las Vegas, where Durante was
staying with his manager, the late Lou
Clayton. For four days, the NBC ex¬
ecutive lived with Clayton and Dur¬
ante. He swam with them, rolled dice
with them, joined them at night clubs
and in their private suites. Durante
was adamant until the last night—at
the gaming tables Weaver rolled seven
successive “sevens,” on which Dur¬
ante made $5,000. That did it. Durante
signed the next day.
The shows that Weaver has built
include Your Show of Shows; The
Comedy Hour; the All Star Review;
the Kate Smith Hour, first big after¬
noon TV show; Broadway Openhouse,
which pioneered late-night TV and
made stars of Jerry Lester and Dag-
mar; and Today, which opened up
early-morning network TV.
Weaver worked out the idea of ro¬
tating stars so they would not have
to appear every week and the idea of
splitting up the cost of bigtime TV
hours among several advertisers. The
list of stars Weaver signed up with
NBC gold is a roll-call of top-line en¬
tertainers in America. Many of them
aren’t around any more: Jack Carter,
for one; Ed Wynn, for another; Jack
Carson, for a third; Olsen and John¬
son, for a few more. Weaver has also
been accused of nepotism in launch¬
ing a summer show a few years back
starring his brother, Doodles. The
show laid an egg.
Weaver’s first attempts with Fred
Allen, whose radio show Town Hall
Tonight he produced in the 1930’s, also
turned sour. But Weaver is the idea
man; he leaves to others the problems
of working out the details. He once
10
wrote a single - spaced, three - page
memorandum on his reasons for start¬
ing Today, which unfortunately got
into the hands of the press and made
him an easy target for the critics.
Weaver’s grandiose concepts didn’t
match the reality of the show. But
Today accomplished at least the stra¬
tegic end he wanted—it kicked off
early-morning network TV.
Weaver, who claims he reads Hero¬
dotus, a Greek historian, in bed, also
took a licking in the public press with
an idea called “Operation Frontal
Lobes,” a presumptuous high-brow
title for popularizing culture. The title
was quickly abandoned, but the quiet¬
ly-promulgated “Wise Men” series has
presented Bertrand Russell, Robert
Frost, Wanda Landowska, and others,
with rare taste and understanding.
Weaver also presided over the launch¬
ing of Victory at Sea, which has won
every major award in the book.
Veteran of Show Business
Forty-five years old, six foot three
and freckled-faced, Weaver was born
in Los Angeles a few blocks away
from the movie lots. Virtually ever
since, he has been close to show busi¬
ness except for his formal education,
which includes graduating with a Phi
Beta Kappa key from Dartmouth Col¬
lege, where he majored in classical
civilizations.
After a brief fling inspecting classi¬
cal ruins in Europe, he plunged into
radio as a writer and producer. His
career was, as they say, “meteoric,”
and at the age of 30 he had become
advertising manager for Lucky Strike
cigarets. He traveled widely with the
Jack Benny show, which he produced
along with many of the other top
radio programs of the 1930’s. Once,
when Don Wilson became ill five
minutes before air time, Weaver
grabbed the script and went on as
Benny’s announcer.
For Thinking—$90,000
For a while last year, NBC put the
$90,000 executive to pasture to rumi¬
nate about television. He was upped
from vice president in charge of tele¬
vision to vice chairman of the board—
and left to think. It didn’t last long.
When color became a predominant is¬
sue, Weaver was called back into the
game to call the chromatic signals.
Within a few months, he was also
back as vice president in charge of
television operations. A short time
later he was president of the network.
Weaver has a “rapport” with en¬
tertainers that only an ex-writer, di¬
rector, and producer could have. Of
all NBC top brass, he’s the only one
who dares to ad lib with the top
comedians. Someone once asked him
how he got along with the fabulous
tobacco tycoon, George Washington
Hill. Weaver stuffed his arm up his
sleeve and waved the empty flap:
“I’ve had him eating out of my hand.”

BOXING: Joey Giambra vs. Italo Scortichini,

Scortichini is unrated. Fights: 41. Won: 31.

Giambra, new Buffalo idol, when first seen
on the Friday night presentation stopped
Jimmy Herring. In this short contest he was
extended by Herring's aggressive style.
Against the Italian invader, Giambra will
have a strong, weaving, lighter foe, who
recently held Carmen Basilio even in 10
rounds. His left jabs must work overtime to
keep off the aggressive Italo, but you can be
sure Giambra will be the winner at the end,

Panter, the local boy in this contest, will be

Whoever he is, here’s a way to make his jokes even more enjoy¬
able: have a glass of Schaefer in your hand while you watch him.
Schaefer is real beer. It’s light and dry. And it’s more than
that. Schaefer is brewed with the flavor, bouquet and other basic
qualities that add up to true beer character .
Tonight, at TV time, make sure you’ve got enough
Schaefer handy. No joking—it can make your TV
evening perfect.

G EORGE JESSEL once said that
the only permanent thing in
show business is change. The Milton
Berle Show is offered as proof.
Berle was Mr. Television himself
as far back as 1948. In those early
days he had only to dress up in wom¬
en’s clothes or black out his front
teeth or throw a pie in somebody’s
face to stop the wheels of commerce
from 8 P.M. to 9 P.M. of a Tuesday.
What Berle forgot to do was change.
New shows and new faces were com¬
ing along in droves, but Berle ignored
the warning signals. Not until he had
slipped to the point of near-disaster
a year and a half ago could he be
prevailed upon to mend his ways. The
solution was simplicity itself: they
brought in writer Goodman Ace.
Since Ace’s advent, the Berle show
has changed completely and improved
enormously. The dog-eared variety
acts have all but disappeared. A con¬
crete story line has been added. Two
new characters, Arnold Stang as the
stagehand and Ruth Gilbert as Max,
Berle’s secretary, have brought both
depth and new humor to the proceed¬
ings.
Such guest star powerhouses as
Tallulah Bankhead, Frank Sinatra,
Jack Webb, Martha Raye, Peter Law-
ford, Carol Channing and Mickey
Spillane have been written solidly in¬
to the scripts. And Berle himself has
been toned down considerably. The
change has done him a world of good.

A CURTIS PUBLICATION
FINE TUNING
By
OLLIE CRAWFORD
S EATTLE prison installs coin-box
TV sets in cells. This must be
what they mean by a captive audi¬
ence.
The mil tick test prisoner is the pry
who sent in box tops and won an all-
expense trip to Mexico.
One prisoner is all set because he
has a 20-year sentence and his quar¬
ters full of quarters. He’s the one fel¬
low who can see himself on This Is
Your Life while watching Dragnet. He
watched one comic on TV and said:
“And for what I did, they gave me 20
years.”
•
His mistake was in trying to
Strike It liich at four o’clock in the
morning.
•
Then there’s the old-time safe¬
cracker who sandpapers his finger¬
tips before turning the dials. The
only thing that annoys him is an¬
nouncers who say: “We’ll be back in
a minute. Don’t go away now,”
One pickpocket is so clever, he
puts quarters in the slot and then
picks them out again.
This boy even picked Jack Benny’s
pocket, right off the screen. All he got
was a handful of candy mints, painted
to look like dimes.

SPORTS
Breath Takes
A Holiday
T HERE is a feeling here, maybe or
maybe not shared by the clients,
that too many of the essays in this
space have been marked by a note
of—well, churlishness. This is a dis¬
turbing thought, because it suggests
that there are flaws in the disposition
of the writer. In fact, the fault almost
certainly lies in this quarter, for it
does not seem reasonable that a me¬
dium as popular as television could
really be as objectionable as it often
seems to me.
This, then, is an exercise in soul-
searching. A need is felt to find some
aspect of sports-on-television which
may be applauded without reserva¬
tion. Only thus may a curmudgeon
find salvation.
By rare good fortune, just such
an opportunity offers itself. Surely
everyone who owns a television set
must have seen and/or heard Jimmy
Powers many times. This is inevitable,
unless there are people who can af¬
ford to buy a set for the sheer pleas¬
ure of tuning everything out.
Well, now for the applause. A great
many people whose judgment I re¬
spect have declared a great many
times in my hearing that in their
opinion Jimmy Powers is the best
commentator on fights that television
has presented up to now.
Invariably, the reason given for this
opinion is the same: “He never says
anything. He has the sense to keep
his mouth shut and let you watch the
fight.”
There is a text for a sermon there,
if only we could find it. Maybe the
point is that when a viewer tunes in
a sports event he does so because he
wants to see the event, rather than to
hear a golden voice describing it.
Not long ago there was a fight card
in some town where the commentator
—somebody else, not Powers—babbled
and chattered and gaggled intermi¬
nably, with the camera on him, of
course. At long last, his audience
heard him say, “Okay, Joe, any time
you’re ready.” And with that the ring
announcer, who had been waiting ob¬
sequiously, introduced the fighters
and the bout went on.
Powers does not make this mistake.
He specializes in the deathlike hush.
Once in a while he’ll say “Martinez in
the black trunks, Casillo in the
white.” Thoughtfully, he’ll add, “One
minute to go in round three.” That’s
about all, expect that between rounds
when there’s no commercial he may
read off a list of red-headed, left-
handed, gray-eyed fighters who have
appeared in the Garden since 1925.
It is enormously restful. Of course,
if the man who talks least is the best
commentator, then it follows logically
that the perfect commentator would
be either a deaf mute or a dead man.
But let’s reason no further on that
line. That way lies chaos.

C LEVELAND is steeped in the his¬
tory and culture of the Shakers
and their fine food.
So the choice of regional recipes for
Ethel Jackson, slim, blonde cooking
expert on The Women’s Window,
WEWS, was not hard: Sister Lettie’s
Buttermilk Biscuits, an authentic rec¬
ipe of the Shakers, a religious society
which in 1820 founded a colony east
of downtown Cleveland where now is
located one of the city’s loveliest

suburbs, Shaker Heights.
Ethel thinks the Shaker recipe is
as interesting in background as it is
in taste. The Shakers were —are would
be more accurate; a handful still ex¬
ist—communal living people who
banned smoking, drinking, marriage
and, at one time, meat. They were
people dedicated to “consecrated la¬
bor.” The sect was founded by a
woman, Ann Lee. And “Mother Ann”
insisted that her feminine followers
be top-notch homemakers. In time,
the Shaker women became known as
excellent cooks.
Shaker communities numbered from
200 to 600 souls, so the women learned
to work with vast amounts of food.
Sister Lettie’s recipe has been cut
from its original proportions to small¬
er, workable amounts for today’s
average family. The reduced recipe
has been tested and found just as
good as the old.

T HE THEATER’S only living
legend, Tallulah Bankhead,
greeted us at the door shivering in
lounging pajamas and a eigaret,
both of which she sported during
the whole fantastic day of the in¬
terview. Secluded in “Windows,” a

balks at doing

own panel show.
beautiful old rambling house 60 miles
from New York, at the end of a climb¬
ing cow path ten miles from where
the macadam ends, overlooking God’s
green acres and a swimming pool,
lives the woman extraordinaire, who
more than anything else in the world,
loathes being alone.
No isolationist, politically or social¬
ly, she houses three dogs, a cat, a
Myna bird, a chauffeur, a cook, her
secretary, Edie Smith, any number of
neuroses, and on weekends, any vari¬
ety of high- and low-brows.
The idyllic “Windows” erupts spas¬
modically, along with Tallulah. She’d
stay there forever, never working, “if
the wolf and Bureau of Internal Rev¬
enue would stay away from my door.”
Southern Ham
Admittedly lazy and a ham, she
comes out of hibernation “only for
money, dahling,” including the Jimmy
Durante show date and U.S. Steel
Hour’s “Hedda Gabler.” She has
other offers. “I hate to say whose. If
I turn anyone down I give the man a
black eye and I don’t want to give
those dahling Goodson-Todman boys
a black eye. But I’m advised that
panel shows are on their way out.”
Bill Todman, who hasn’t heard the
news about panel shows, says, “We
have an audience participation show
in the works, tailor-made for Tallu.”
And he’s convinced she’s convinced.
She’s thinking more seriously about
a situation comedy, a Fred Coe off¬
spring. But with the wolf still at a
distance, she reads through the night
and sleeps through the day. Since she
reads prone, with Doloras, a Maltese
poodle, slung somehow around the top
of her head, like a halo, she can’t
abide heavy books. “I’ll wager I’m the
only person who ever read ‘Gone With
the Wind’ at one session,” she claims.
“But it weighed so much, I ripped it
in half. Read first one part, then the
other—like that,” she tore an imagi¬
nary book in two.
Not an outdoor girl, she rarely rises
before three, ventures into the open
only in summer. “Dahling, I’m so un-
athletic, I’ve got a €0 foot pool that
I’ve never seen the other end of.”
Tallulah is a determined Giant root¬
er. As a born Confederate, she has a
distaste for all things Yankee, from
baseball to pot roast.
She rarely remembers names, al¬
though she’s remarkably adroit at any¬
thing concerning Tallulah. “I haven’t
been to the theater in seven years
and a movie in 10. At the ball park, I
blow my gasket if the Giants win,
and I blow it if they lose. Either way
I come home dead—a wreck.”
London Belle
For all who weren’t around for Tal¬
lulah’s first triumph 30 years ago, she
was the belle of London at 21. She
was born the second daughter of the
great beauty, Adelaide, and the am¬
bitious young lawyer, Will Bankhead,
who was to become a Congressman
and later. Speaker of the House. When
Tallulah returned after her storming
18
of the Isles, she was tagged “a second
Marlene Dietrich.”
Back on Broadway, she appeared in
a series of dismal flops, mediocre flops,
and three or four plays that rated no
score at all. She finally hit her stride
as the predatory Regina Giddens in
Lillian Heilman’s “The Little Foxes,”
again as Sabina in Wilder’s “The Skin
of Our Teeth,” and came off with the
New York film critics award for her
portrayal of a newspaper woman in
the Hitchcock film, “Lifeboat.”
Glamorous, Unpredictable
By the time she stampeded into
radio via NBC’s “The Big Show” she
had worked up a reputation for being
“fabulous, incredible, tempestuous, a
character,” which she resents vio¬
lently.
She talks endlessly, in paragraphs
rather than sentences. She shows a
distinct preference for prancing over
walking. And she can throw a tantrum
at the block of most any whim. This
particular talent was perfected at the
age of five when Daddy took sister
(Eugenia) off on a picnic and left
Tallulah home. Tallu flung herself on
the floor, “got purple in the face and
screamed blue murder.” Grandmother
squelched both the tantrum and the
young Bankhead with a bucket of cold
water.
Her voice is her trademark, and al¬
though she sings in a virtual bass, she
claims perfect pitch. “The gags about
my voice didn’t just happen,” she con¬
fided. “I haven’t always sounded like
the low end of a foghorn. But by the
time I was six, I had the croup,
whooping cough, pneumonia, mumps,
tonsillitis, measles; everything settled
right here in my chest.” She pounded,
proving its whereabouts.
“I figured Durante has his nose,
Benny has his miserliness, I would
have my voice. But Bob Hope clinched
it. He introduced me on ‘The Big
Show,’ saying that I was going to sing,
‘Give My Regards to Seventh Avenue.’
I corrected him, ‘You mean, Broad¬
way, Bob.’ He told me, ‘Tallulah,
you’ll always be a block away.’ ”
During the tour of “Windows,” so
named because it has 75 of them, Tal¬
lulah pointed out her prized posses¬
sions, ranging from her Augustus
John portrait, which she values at
$100,000, to Precious, the puppet de¬
signed for her by Burr Tillstrom.
She displayed her Myna bird, Cleo,
and asked it to repeat her name.
“Say Tallulah,” said Tallulah.
“Birds can’t talk,” said Cleo.
Except Maybe Rosselini
At the door, Tallu charged, “I’ll bet
you’re going home to write that I’m
utterly mad, just like people expect
me to be. It’s that stupid typing.” But
though she defies being typed, and a
trillion other natural laws, she con¬
ceded, “It’s true. If it had been me
who ran off with Rosselini, no one
would have given it a thought.”
—Katherine Pedell
She swaps gags
with Bert Lahr
on comedy show
but does just as
good a job in
a dramatic role.

THE RIGHT TELEVISION ANTENNA FOR
Answer To Poor Reception
May Be On Your Rooftop
A WAY up on your roof, where most
. people pay little attention to it,
rests what may well be the key to sat¬
isfactory televiewing—your antenna.
For most viewers it may come as a
shock to learn that engineers con¬
tend these antennas—and they num¬
ber more than 15,000,000 throughout
the Nation—should not be lightly re¬
garded. For example, Harold Harris,
vice president of Channel Master
Corp., one of the largest antenna pro¬
ducers, says that an average set with
an excellent antenna will outperform
a top set with a poor antenna.
So let’s look into the subject.
Chief factor in the selection of an
antenna is distance. Viewers living
near the telecasting station are said
to be in a “primary” area. Those in
the suburbs are in a “secondary” area,
while people living far out in the
country are classified as “fringe”
area video viewers. Each group needs
Here are some of
the various antennas
available to televi¬
sion viewers. Each is
designed to meet a
specific need and to
aid in overcoming
reception difficulties
due to distance or
location. Right one
can prove a boon.
a different type of antenna installa¬
tion and producers have developed a
variety of types to meet ordinary or
special needs of all set-owners.
Other factors to consider are:
1. Type of terrain. The flatter
the land, the farther a TV
signal can travel.
2. The presence of tall build¬
ings, hills, or other reflect¬
ing surfaces. These cause
“ghosts” on the TV screen.
3. The number of television
stations serving the area.
These may be VHF, (Chan¬
nels 2 through 13) or UHF
(Channels 14 through 83.)
The function of an antenna is to
pick the picture wave out of the air
and feed it to the set. The antenna
is an integral part of the television set
itself. Electronic engineers have out-
lined a few of the unhappy results
when an antenna does not do its job
or a wrong antenna is selected.
“Snow”: electronic noise within the
TV set that usually shows up when
only a weak signal can be received.
All action seems to take place in the
midst of an Alaskan blizzard. The
more powerful the antenna, the more
effectively it can reduce “snow” by
bringing in a stronger signal. In
fringe areas, this is a common prob¬
lem.
“Ghosts”: double or triple images
occurring when the antenna picks up
a signal directly from the transmitter,
and a split second later, an identical
signal of the image reflected off a
building, hill or watertower in the
general vicinity of the set.
The selection of a proper antenna
can do much to reduce and even
eliminate these troubles. Here are
types to choose from:
VHF ANTENNAS for Channels 2-13
Tri-Pole Antenna: basically new
kind; provides powerful reception.
Hi-Lo Antenna: moderate power,
used only in strong signal areas.
Fan Type: all-channel antenna. There
are more fan types installed through¬
out the country than any other.
Yogi: a single or multiple channel an¬
tenna for long distance reception.
VHF ANTENNAS for Channels 14-83
Bow-Tie: popular all-channel antenna.
Corner Reflector and Twin Corner
Reflector: very powerful all channel
fringe area antenna.
Yagi: powerful fringe antenna cover¬
ing a limited number of channels.
VHF AND VHF COMBINATION
for Channels 2-83
Fan and Bow Tie Combination: com¬
bination of the fan and bow tie built
into a single antenna structure. Re¬
ceives all channels.
As the owner of a TV set you're a
twentieth-century "ALICE” but you
have many LOOKING GLASSES.
